Overview
Tradeshift is a cloud platform combining e-invoicing, accounts payable automation, and global compliance on top of a large business network connecting buyers, suppliers, and financial institutions. It captures invoices from multiple sources, including native e-invoicing, PDF/OCR, and PO-flip submission, applies multi-way matching and validation against business rules, and manages compliance across a wide range of countries with active e-invoicing mandates.
The platform emphasizes supplier collaboration and network effects: suppliers can join the network to submit compliant electronic invoices and collaborate with buyers, while AI-driven processing reduces manual coding. Tradeshift positions itself for global organizations needing both AP automation and the ability to meet evolving regional e-invoicing and clearance requirements.
Tradeshift was founded in 2009 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California, with significant European roots. It is a privately held company; its e-invoicing business has been the subject of a joint venture arrangement with a major bank partner.
